Can You Foster a Bulldog?

Long Island Bull Dog Rescue is seeking extra fosters in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene:

“Due to the aftermath of Irene many of our volunteers have been evacuated from their homes.  We are in urgent need of foster homes for incoming Bulldogs. If you can foster at this time, this would be of great help.

Contact Bulldogrescue1@aol.com or 516-458-1716.

We don’t want to turn away a rescue and we don’t want them on the street or in the shelters”

If you are willing and able, please consider taking in a displaced pet.

Surprise! It’s Pig Week!

Hosted by Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Pig Week is an initiative to educate pet owners about these uncommon pets.  Best Friends recently posted an informative blog about “pignorance” which caught my eye as I recently lost an aunt who found great solace in her hospice caretaker’s pot-bellied pig. When I was searching for an image for this post I Googled “therapy pigs”, a term that not surprisingly generated the following suggestion: “Did you mean therapy dogs?” No, Google, I did not. Even the Internet is guilty of pignorance!

Please take a moment to read the blog entry by Piggy Paradise manager Yvonne McIntosh, which dispels myths about pig cleanliness, size, and intelligence, but be warned – you may never eat pork again.
